fufarawI was half-asleep when I shut down the laptop to go to bed last night. I'd kept the BB doc in Word open, in case I wanted to poke at it a little before I logged off for the night. I clicked the x to close it, and the dialog box came up just as I spotted the stick drive and realized I hadn't backed the document up yet, so I clicked "no", I don't want to close the document.
Unfortunately, what the dialog box was asking was, "Do you want to save changes to this document."
Every single fricken word I wrote yesterday, gone. Pffft. System restore will back up the computer to a specific time point, but it won't touch saved documents. And the latest restore point for Word is 4.21.
So, fellow babies, save your damned work, even if you're just getting up to pee. I'm trying to reconstruct, but I just keep looking at that deadline and shaking my head.
Okay, outta here. Gonna be *real* thin on the ground for the next few days.
